Eco Retreats Tipis and Yurts

This eco-site in Wales combines the luxury of a hotel with the excitement of going back to nature. Choose between a family yurt set in a meadow or a tipi made for two set on the side of a hill.

Get away from it all on a romantic eco-break in your own individually designed yurt or tipi. Modern luxury in harmony with a beautiful natural environment and all in the heart of the Welsh mountains.

Our site is located in a beautiful valley, deep in the heart of the Dyfi Forest, one of the UK’s largest forests. Here you’ll find the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the tranquillity of the natural surroundings, far from the outside world

The site is deep in the forest, four and a half miles from the road. We’re several miles from the nearest houses, so we don’t provide electricity or wifi! Instead you’ll find the comfort of spending time away from all the usual gadgets that fill our lives and space to appreciate streams and woodland, the crackling of the fire and the great outdoors.

Our tipi and yurt is each situated in its own secluded and spacious location, spread out over more than 50 acres. You really can make the most of the space to relax and reconnect, whether you’re enjoying a glamping holiday with the whole family, just coming with your partner or simply seeking a peaceful retreat by yourself.

We combine the joy of living deep in the natural world with the luxury of a well-equipped and lovingly furnished space. In your tipi or yurt you’ll find everything you'll need for a restful stay, including a fire both inside and out, sheepskin rugs, romantic fabrics and a comfy double bed. Your own private loo and shower facilities are just outside.

We are passionate in our commitment to the environment, in particular the land where we are based, and really hope to give you the chance to rediscover the magic of nature.

Healing sessions, reiki and meditation are available on site (extra charges apply), perfect to rejuvenate mind body and soul – ideal for city dwellers in need of an escape.

Liked: When we got to the site we were met by Zoe who was really great- she helped us carry our stuff from the car to the tipi (despite earlier being waist deep in a sink hole) and explained everything to us. There was also a welcome guide inside the tipi which was very thorough.

The tipi itself was enormous inside! There's a kitchen area with cooking equipment, plates and cutlery and a gas stove. There is also a camp fire outside, but it was a bit wet to use that during our stay. The tipi also had a wood burner inside which kept us toasty warm- not that we needed it as the bed had a duvet, a throw, sheepskins AND spare blankets and duvets if we needed them. The bed was VERY comfy- we both had the best night's sleep we've had in a long time.

The facilities are good; it was great having a private toilet and shower and I did brave the cold spring shower once! They also provide the shampoo and shower gel (BUAV approved, which I liked).

The area is beautiful and we felt completely isolated (I had absolutely no phone signal for two days- slightly unnerving at first!). On our first day there we spent hours just sitting outside our tipi admiring the views and chatting. I haven't felt so relaxed ever. Oh! And we saw a barn owl!

Have only been back a couple of days and am already recommending this to everyone!

Disliked: Walking up the hill to the Mountain Tipi. I suppose the name was a giveaway really- must get down the gym!
